Name Place Card

Coin Purse

If you could look out at my yard right now, you would see it's covered in pine cone scales. For some reason the tree will not give me a single pine cone, only the scales. Which to say the least, is very disappointing. What do you do with a bunch of pine cone scales? So after a little thought, I came up with this simple project. Directions below.

Supplies:Pine Cone ScalesHot GlueCardboardGlass votive

Cut out a circle from any kind of heavy cardboard. This will be your base. Make sure the circle is big enough to fit the glass votive plus the pine cone scales that will lay around it.

Place the votive in the center of the cardboard and trace the bottom of it. This will be your guideline for how far in you can glue the pine cone scales.

Hot glue pine cone scales onto the cardboard(refer to picture).Glue a second layer, alternating the scales with the first layer. Continue this process until the votive is at the desired height.

Place the glass votive back in and add a candle. Always use caution while using candles. Never leave a candle in an unattended room.

This candle holder is super cute! I love it. I hope it's okay, I've just finished a pine cone crafts and decor round-up and just couldn't help but feature your pretty pine cone candle holder. You can see it here:
